The event is an opportunity for women in the UTSA community to come together to eat, enjoy entertainment and participate in an open discussion.

In a fun-filled New Orleans Mardi Gras-themed environment with Cajun food, there will be a mask-making activity for participants followed by a presentation by Cay Crow, certified sex therapist. Crow will speak on women's sexual health issues.

The event also will include a trivia game about women's health and community issues. The goal is to inform female UTSA students of the consequences of risky sexual health practices and substance abuse.
